Sandra Bullock's arrival on Instagram last week says anything, it's that the Oscar-winning actor once routinely dubbed America's sweetheart is ready to embrace the spotlight again.

At age 12 I finally watched the film and it felt like it was made for me. I recognised and appreciated, unlike its critics, the hodgepodge. It is not so much a chick flick with magic as a genre chimera: romance, gothic melodrama, small-town satire, ghost story and feminist parable. I grew up in Hong Kong during the 1990s, a city defined by its complex history with traditions shaped by diverse communities and displaced refugees like my Beijing-born father.

I am getting asked about this a lot, so I’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel. I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are re-casting.

"Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that," confirmed Nicole Kidman about her and Sandra Bullock's return for Practical Magic 2.
